Chapter 65: Hypocrisy and Wrongdoing
Ye Dong beckoned to Gollum, and after Gollum hid it, he got up and opened the door.
"What about people?" Ye Dong asked when he saw that there was only a shopkeeper.
"Oh, that seems to be the king's steward of the Chu Mansion, and he is waiting for the prince below. ”
"Did he say what he was looking for me?" Ye Dong asked again.
He didn't say this, but it can be seen that he seems to be extremely important and polite to Childe, otherwise with his identity, he would not have waited below. The shopkeeper scratched his head and said.
Ye Dong nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead." ”
The two went downstairs.
Sure enough, I saw a middle-aged man sitting next to the table by the window below, looking very shrewd, and when he saw Ye Dong coming down, he nodded and smiled at him.
The shopkeeper said: "Steward Wang, I brought the person you are looking for." ”
Steward Wang got up, smiled, walked over, reached into his arms, took out a piece of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became energetic, smiled, took the silver, and said, "Okay." ”
Without waiting for Ye Dong to speak, Steward Wang smiled and said, "This is not the place to speak. ”
"Owner, private room upstairs. Steward Wang said to the boss.
The boss agreed, and then the shopkeeper led them upstairs.
Steward Wang made a gesture of invitation and asked Ye Dong to walk in front.
Ye Dong didn't be polite to him, and walked up directly, saying, "Since you want to talk upstairs, why wait for me downstairs?"
Steward Wang said: "The master of the family attaches great importance to the son, and repeatedly told me not to neglect the son, without the permission of the son, I dare not go upstairs without permission to surprise the son, if the son is unhappy, I can't explain to the head of the house when I go back." ”
Ye Dong couldn't help but slow down a little, this steward Wang acted carefully and prudently, which made him feel very useful, it seemed that his people were very important in the Chu family.
The shopkeeper found a quiet, soundproofed room, the room was elegantly furnished, and the scenery outside the window was beautiful. He knew the weight of the Chu family, and this Wang steward was generous, so he naturally didn't dare or wanted to offend.
Entering the room, Steward Wang nodded with satisfaction, and after the shopkeeper went out, he said: "There is an inn that is quite famous in Lizhou, and it has been in business for decades, almost no one dares to make trouble here, and Gongzi really knows how to choose a place." ”
The two fell to the table, Ye Dong looked at the scenery outside the window, and said: "I can order anything else, but the food, clothing, housing and transportation can't be bad, and I usually like to see some scenery, and this place is just satisfied, so I will live here." ”
Steward Wang poured Ye Dong a glass of wine with a smile and said, "Gongzi is really a gentleman. ”
Ye Dong stared at the glass of wine he poured, and did not pick it up immediately, but suddenly looked at Steward Wang's face, and said, "I don't seem to have anything to do with the Chu family, I don't know what Steward Wang is looking for me?"
"Hahaha," Steward Wang probably didn't expect Ye Dong to be so direct, "Childe is really fast-talking." ”
"It's not a secret, the heroic feat of the son in the night market a few days ago, the head of the family has also heard of it. Steward Wang paused and continued, "After hearing about it, the head of the family admired the son's character cultivation very much, and he has always been unaccustomed to the Li family's tyrannical behavior. ”
"The Li family is rampant and domineering in Lizhou, and it has not been a day or two since they swaggered through the market, and Li Chengkun, the head of the Li family, is a person who will repay him, and his face is damaged, and he will not give up. ”
And the head of the family heard that Gongzi seems to be involved in the death of the young master of the Wang family, but I am afraid that the Wang family will not stop there, Gongzi is a master of art and bold, and everything he does does does not violate the right path of heaven, do it right, sit upright, and naturally will not take these things to heart, but if these two families join hands and collude, then Gongzi is in danger. ”
Ye Dong turned the wine glass on the table and said, "According to Steward Wang, how can we avoid the joint efforts of these two families and resolve this crisis?"
Steward Wang said: "The head of the family has always known heroes and heroes, and he has a heart of love and talent, and he can't bear to be persecuted by his son, so he ordered me to come this time to make friends with his son, if there is a useful place in the future, even if he speaks, the Chu family will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the situation of his son." ”
Ye Dong couldn't help but smile and said: "There is no free lunch in the world, if Steward Wang has anything to say, you might as well just say it." ”
Steward Wang gave a thumbs up and said: "Okay, Gongzi is really a refreshing person, since this is the case, I will also say it bluntly, the head of the family heard that the Li family's early congenital external skills and high means, in front of the son, he didn't even have the strength to fight back, the head of the family was very surprised, I don't know when Lizhou actually came out of such a master, after many inquiries, it was learned that Gongzi lived in an inn. ”
Ye Dong's eyes were blazing, and he said, "So your family master wants me to enter the Chu family and work for the Chu family?"
Steward Wang's expression was a little unnatural in an instant, he coughed, and said, "Childe is a smart person, he should know how to weigh the pros and cons, and how to choose, it's all in Childe's thoughts." ”
Ye Dongdao: "Since Steward Wang said that I am a smart person, of course I will not be stupid enough to go to the two major families of Lizhou with the strength of one person, what good will that do me?"
Steward Wang said: "So, son......"
Ye Dong raised his wine glass and said, "Come, cheers!"
Steward Wang is also a smart person, very good at observing words and feelings, although Ye Dong is wearing a mask on his face and can't see his expression, but his words and deeds all show that this matter has been done.
He suddenly smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he also raised his wine glass and said, "Cheers." ”
The two of them drank it all, and it was done.
When the shopkeeper entered the room, what he saw was a rather harmonious picture, Ye Dong and Steward Wang were like friends for many years, chatting, talking and laughing, and drinking a thousand cups of wine for a confidant.
Their staggering, drunken and hot drinks, and pointing out the country greatly infected the shopkeeper, which made him excited and excited.
Ye Dong raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said: "Five-flowered horse, thousand catties of Qiu, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and eliminate eternal sorrow with you!"
Both of them drank a lot of wine, and Steward Wang drank a lot, and it was not easy for Ye Dong to get him drunk.
Ye Dong's amount of alcohol is actually very shallow, he hasn't drunk much alcohol before, but his physique is very special, maybe it is caused by the changes that have occurred in his body, even if he drinks more wine, his body will relieve the hangover on its own, and the wine will be slowly discharged through the pores, which is not visible to the naked eye.
Yes, at first, Steward Wang also relied on his own drinking, thinking that although Ye Dong's cultivation was okay, after all, he was young and didn't have much alcohol, but he just pretended to be a heroic drinker, and he didn't want to drink for a long time, but he gradually felt overwhelmed, and he actually had a trace of drunkenness.
He didn't dare to drink anymore, for fear that after he got drunk, he would say something he shouldn't have said.
Once these words are leaked, they will be rolled out of the Chu family at the least, and their lives will be at worst.
Ye Dong pretended to be drunk, and Steward Wang summoned the shopkeeper and said, "Help me help my son into the room and let him have a good rest." ”
Taking advantage of this reason, when entering Ye Dong's room, Steward Wang carefully observed the situation in Ye Dong's room and determined that there was nothing special that could indicate Ye Dong's identity and origin.
Looking at Ye Dong, who seemed to be drunk and unconscious, Steward Wang had a curious idea: What does this kid look like, is he not an ugly monster.
Would you like to unmask him and take a look?
